Unnamed UK official says a Brexit delay to January 31 means there will be an election

Awaiting if we can get a name, so far this is an anonymous source

BBC political editor reporting that Johnson will try to push for an election if the EU offers a delay.

But …. this was the parliament's plan all along wasn't it? Get a delay agreed then go for an election or a referendum, right?

What we do now is that EU president Tusk says he will be recommending a delay:

• Brexit - EU's Tusk will recommend EU accept UK request for extension

And that France is a bit peeved:

• France says it rules out a further Brexit delay beyond this next one

And also that France will fall into line with whatever Tusk recommends.... (that is IMO but I reckon its a given)
